[QUOTE="steve760, post: 401824, member: 89496"] What is your "Optical Drive" the drive you are putting the Blu-Ray Disc into to Play it? Brand and Model number? If this is not an actual Blu-ray disc drive, you will never be able to play a Blu-Ray disc with it. If you have a Blu-Ray drive and you have PowerDVD, you should be able to play Blu-Ray disc's just fine from about any computer that was built for Vista and most others. If you have PowerDVD8 their are patches for that version that are needed to play Blu-Ray, so make sure you completely update PDVD and also search their site for any patches for your version/build of the product. The plugin in this thread is just to make PowerDVD open and close from within MediaPortal and MediaPortal can not play Blu-Ray disc's alone, it needs PowerDVD or another external program to do so. If your Optical Drive is capable of playing Blu-Ray it will have the Blu-Ray logo on the front bezel of the drive "it should" and if it is capable, you should also make sure that it has the latest firmware for that drive. If you have all the above and everything is updated and you are just looking for a working version of the plugin, please tell me the path of your "PowerDVD" for example "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PowerDVD.exe" Hope this helps Steve.
